It is my pleasure to welcome you to Alsop High School. I am delighted that you are considering joining our community. As the Executive Principal of this warm and wonderful school, which is part of Omega Multi Academy Trust, I feel both proud and privileged to lead our mission of ‘Achieving Excellence Together.’ At Alsop High School, excellence means seeking 1% improvements every day in all that we do, for both staff and students. We are looking for talented, committed and passionate colleagues to join us on this journey to excellence.

I will always expect our staff to treat the children in our care as they would their own. One of my favourite quotes is, “children’s learning is not a rehearsal; they never get a second chance.” We want ambitious staff who are passionate about maintaining the highest standards every day to ensure that every moment of students learning is as effective and enriching as possible. We aim to cultivate a warm, family-like work environment and seek to recruit and retain dynamic and inspirational staff who share our vision and commitment.

While we love working in education, we recognise its challenges, which is why your wellbeing is always a priority for us, from emotional support to regular workload management. As part of a trust, we offer all staff exclusive access to our wellbeing and benefits app “Omega MAT Plus+.” This app provides a gateway to a wide range of exciting benefits, including an Employee Assistance Programme with 24/7 health and wellbeing support, access to GP video appointments and discounts and savings at many high street stores and big brands.
